I Wish I Vlogged My Life

A video stream of a my favorite memories

I Wish I Vlogged My Life
Kelly Dzialo

Its been said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." As much as I cherish the pictures I have, and memories that accompany them, I wish my memories could stream as video. I wish I vlogged my life.

Vlogs, or video blogs, are ever popular today. On YouTube, you can find over 80 million videos. Of those 80 million videos, I find myself watching vlogs. Many popular YouTubers upload weekly or even daily video blogs of their lives. Basically, they carry a camera with them every step of their day, filming interactions, events, or even speaking to viewers directly. The video clips are edited into a chronological, viewer friendly YouTube video as vlog.

As much as I enjoy watching these videos, indulging and living vicariously through the videos, I wish I vlogged my own life. I have been very fortunate to have experienced some amazing trips and events in my 19 years of life. Even my day to day life with my family and friends is exciting. I cherish the people I get to be around and truly enjoy time with one another. Sometimes our time is documented by photos or a quick video of a hysterical moment, but you can never really relive those special moments.

I wish I had a video for every great time. The first time I held my baby brothers. My family and me, standing together in our driveway, as we watched our house be knocked down. My brothers and my first baseball and softball games. The time my brothers and I swam in a cave used for filming Pirates of the Caribbean. The time I climbed a waterfall with my big brother. My family and me at the final game at the old Yankee Stadium. My Sweet 16. My journey out to Minnesota for high school. My trip to Norway visiting some friends. I wish these, and so many more moments were captured.

My last two years of high school were captured quite well with videos I watch nearly every week. I love being able to relive memories. A day captured with video clips set to music is a great way to relive those favorite memories. I wish those videos were captured daily.

Technology is expanding daily and while I cherish living in the moment and taking time away from technology, I would love the opportunity to relive my best and favorite memories. I especially love to watch other people's vlogs and while I might be the only one to ever watch the vlogs of my own life, I think it would be worth it. To be able to look back when I'm older and relive the fading memories would be indefinitely valuable to me. I wish I vlogged my life. I may just have to start.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
